Preparing for first hypo

[Reptile]

That's a really great piece of news.

Thanks!

That's put a broad smile on my face.

Is there anything I can do to nurture my pancreas? Exercise, supplements, avoid certain foods?

Hi. You've had a lot of good advice so far. I use Dextrose tablets for hypos. Low-cost, small packing, different flavours available, dissolve easily; to me there is nothing better. Yes, beware newer Lucozade. The main thing with Gliclazide is to not have a dose higher than you need for the carbs you eat. Do test with a glucose meter when in doubt.

Thanks Daveb. I have indeed received some good advice in this thread, with yours adding to it.

I'm feeling much better prepared and much more positive.
